Hoa Binh Province currently has over 870
hectares of tea plantations, with six districts having concentrated tea
production areas that boast advantages in soil, climate, history, and
distinctive tea varieties: Yen Thuy, Lac Thuy, Da Bac, Mai Chau, Tan Lac, and
Luong Son.
The provincial agriculture sector has
implemented the provincial People's Committee's plan for sustainable,
multi-value tea development in Hoa Binh Province for the period 2024 - 2030.
According to the plan, by 2030, the province aims to stabilize the total tea
area at approximately 1,200 hectares, with a production target of 13.8 thousand
tons. Of this, 80% will be produced in a cooperative and linked manner,
ensuring traceability, food safety, and GAP standards; deeply processed tea
products will account for 20%; and 100% of the area will be managed, assigned
region codes, and have traceability as required for export.
The province also has guidelines on the scale
of tea-growing areas and the processing and diversification of products. For
the Shan tuyet tea area, Mai Chau district
is planned to have an area of 200 - 250 hectares; Da Bac district about 100 hectares; and Tan Lac district 50 hectares. The green tea area in Yen Thuy
and Lac Thuy districts is planned to have 400 - 500 hectares; Hoa Binh city and Luong Son district 250 - 300 hectares.
Being located more than 10 km from the center of Hoa Binh city, Sen Vang Organic Farm is in Dong Chua hamlet, Thong Nhat ward. This is an ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in the nature and find the peace after the hustle and bustle of life. With an area of over 60 hectares, the farm is systematically planned, harmoniously combining the wild natural landscape and diverse experience areas. Sen Vang chrysanthemum tea is produced from organic, completely natural ingredients.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province witnessed signs of economic recovery, particularly in investment attraction. Notably, several projects are showing good progress, indicating that the vitality of businesses is positively correlated with the overall economic recovery.
The 25th Party congress of the Lac Thuy district for the 2020-2025 term identified the development of industry, trade, and services as its top priorities to drive the shift of the economic structure towards increasing the proportion of industry and services while reducing the that of agriculture, thus contributing to creating a motivation for socio-economic development in the locality.
Hoa Binh HKK Knitting Co. Ltd., located in the Hoa Binh Left Bank Industrial Zone, employs nearly 500 local workers with an average monthly salary of 8 million VND (3,150 USD).
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
